      As soon as I watch this vid I remember Firas Zahabi (the trainer of GSP, UFC Champion). He demonstrated how to figut a bigger or taller guy and he said the same thing as you said. Don't stay inside the pocket, move in and out, make a curcular motion, don't clinch or try to shoot your opponent you can't because he has more weight than you, make him chase the more he chases you the better, use some tricks and jabs to taunt him. And he said "to fight a bigger guy you don't need to change your game you just change your tactic and have a better game plan"

    "I don't really fight people because I'm a wuss." That's not just an honest statement, that's a very humble statement. Thanks! I practice Kung Fu, but I learned so much from your videos and I enjoy them so much.

    The element of surprise can be crucial when fighting someone who's bigger (and hopefully not stronger). They'd think they can play their own game with long punches and jabs, until suddenly you jump forward to land a knockout punch.

  • @ristopoho824
    @ristopoho824 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    A nice concept to use everywhere, the disadvantaged attacks second. If you feel like you are overmatched, reacting to an attack and counterattacking is a good choice. Not only in a fight, but games too. Chess is a good example to try that in. Set up a good counterattack from the start, and you can possibly get back some advantage.

    I am 6'-3" tall and 240 Pounds Full Contact Kyokushin Karate-ka as a teenager I was same height and weighed a whopping 135 pounds. Super skinny and always stayed on the outside. One of my Senpai's tied our belts together and forced me to learn how to fight on the inside. it was terrifying and first. However one of the best lessons I could have learned as a young martial artist. True principals hold true through time. Awesome VID Jesse! Thanks

  • @gingercore69
    @gingercore69 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Since ive been compared with the main character from shadow of the colosus because ive always got in fights with guys waaaaaay bigger than me(not always won tho) in my experience, what works for me is goong under their punches to get close and then try to circle arround them and chamge directions when he tries to follow me, and also, try to attack the weak points... The liver, the nuts, etc... Kidneys are a favorite for me... Also, if you manage to do a throw, since they are big, it hurts them more than any strike you could do...

  • @shankarsatheesan6846
    @shankarsatheesan6846 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's going to help me a lot! Thanks Jesse-san! If you remember correctly the concept of ma ai came from kendo and allowed fighters to better their methods of fighting. Not that old school karate didn't have it, Motobu Choki gave a huge discourse on this topic long before.
    Can you also make a video on fighting stances? For an Indian, I'm pretty tall and well built and I've a tendency to lean towards goju-ryu techniques, but I know shotokan as well. What do you suggest?

    I'm short and most of my sparring partner for Judo are about 173 cm to 182 cm tall and they weight twice as much as me. I use tactics as well like you mention on your video. The go to move that I use on bigger guys are ouchi gari, kouchi gari and ashi harai which pretty much help me when I spar. Tai sabaki and Kuzushi played an important role in my training.

  • @MiWill1988
    @MiWill1988 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm 6'8" (just over 2m) and have an occupation in which physical engagements are the norm. I don't know if this video was for sporting reasons or non sport reasons. At least in the non sport context, this is a great video to teach distance but not a great video to teach how to fight. I 100% agree that if someone has both the speed and fight IQ over my power than I am definitely at a disadvantage - I have lot plenty and know my size alone will not win any fight. As much as you are right that being smaller usually means your faster, I think you overlooked how much better being bigger makes you at grappling. This means that while stepping inside of a taller opponents strike zone significantly reduces the power they can generate on a forward strike it also increases the danger of a grab or hold. Also remember the shorter opponent has shorter limbs, something not simulated simply by crouching down. Your video suggests crossing in and out of the strike zone should be frequent. I would argue it should be minimized. Each pass through there could be a game ending punch.
    In a non sport context I would say the shorter opponent should-
    1) Only step inside the opponents reach if absolutely neccesary. Look to not engage at all if possible
    2) If you do have to get inside, do it fast. Everything needs to be shock and awe. A jab isn't worth giving up your advantage. If you're coming inside you need to explode and stun.
    3) Create as much pain as possible and get out of reach - see 1 - before they can recover

  • @hughbriz
    @hughbriz 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great video! I'm not sure that the rope is necessary, but learning the right distance to be from your opponent certainly is.
    The taller person never likes to be closed down as they know they can be at a disadvantage then.
    The other thing that is difficult to cope with as a taller fighter is a short and very flexible adversary. It is difficult to see kicks coming in from very short range as they are outside the normal range of vision.
